Netflix Documentary Murder in Monaco Draws Strong Audience Interest

The Netflix documentary Murder in Monaco is currently attracting significant viewer attention following its recent release, revisiting one of the Principality’s most complex and widely debated criminal cases.

The documentary examines the events surrounding the death of international banker Edmond Safra, who died in a fire at his Monaco residence in December 1999. The incident, which also claimed the life of his nurse Vivian Torrente, led to an investigation that raised lasting questions regarding the circumstances of the fire and the conclusions reached by judicial authorities.

Through archival footage, court records and interviews with journalists and legal specialists, Murder in Monaco retraces the investigation and subsequent trial of Ted Maher, the nurse who was later convicted of arson causing death. The film also presents alternative viewpoints that have continued to fuel public and media debate over the years.

Since its release, the documentary has appeared among the most-viewed true-crime titles on Netflix in several markets, reflecting ongoing international interest in the case and in Monaco’s modern history. The programme contributes to a broader catalogue of investigative documentaries focusing on unresolved or contested judicial outcomes.

Murder in Monaco is available for streaming on Netflix.
